Talk:Railton Special

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sources differ as to wether superchargers were used

The Napier Railton did not, the Railton Special did. I'll improve the articles . PeterGrecian 11:11, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Both articles are about the same thing. The only question seems to be which remains as the main article. -De Facto 11:26, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Two Different Cars

The oldest is at Brooklands, built in 1933 which Brooklands call Napier-Railton but sometimes Napier Railton and had a single Napier Lion and did 160 mph.

The other is in Birmingham Museum of Science and Discovery, built in 1938, did 400 mph and it's keepers call it Railton Mobil Special

The articles about Birmingham Museum of Science and Discovery are confused because it calls it's self by several names including Thinktank. It would be good to fix them.

The Mobil is often dropped because it's just a sponsors name.

Railton Special    = 400 mph in Birmingham
Napier Railton     = 160 mph in Brooklands

It would be a great to rename Railton Special as Railton Mobil Special with redirects.PeterGrecian 14:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
